Former prosecutor Bill Bar said he believes the government has sufficient evidence to indict former President Donald Trump, who is being investigated by the Justice Department for his actions that led to the riots on September 6. January and for his handling of presidential records.
It was during an interview with PBS that Barr told Margaret Hoover that the Justice Department “very likely has the evidence” to “legitimately” accuse Donald Trump of a crime related to the confidential documents he took without permission to his Mar-a-Lago mansion when he left the White House.
“If the Department of Justice can show that these were very sensitive documents, which I think they probably were, and also show that the president was knowingly involved in cheating the department, cheating the government, and playing games after being subpoenaed. for the documents, those are serious charges,” Barr said.
Although he was encouraged to say that he could be accused, he clarified that everything is speculation on his side ” personally I think that probably have the basis to legitimately impeach the president. I don’t know, I’m speculating. But given what happened, I think they probably have the evidence that would tick the box.”
On Trump’s candidacy to get there, again, to the presidency Barr said that at the time he failed and should take a step back “he failed . He didn’t do what the whole country expected: rise to the occasion and get into office, and he didn’t do that. So he’s had the chance of him. Obviously he does not have the necessary qualities to unite the party, which is the first step on the way back, and he must step aside”.
